So This is Why Aeroplane Windows Are Round https://t.co/S82r50HKyk pic.twitter.com/cNZkXm3c9s — Her.ie (@Herdotie) February 23, 2016One such question, is how on earth do those plane toilets get emptied? We know, we're disgusting, sorry. Thankfully, there are some curious people out there at The New Zealand Herald who spoke to Air New Zealand at their brilliantly-named 'Pee Lab', to find out how these toilets actually... you know...work. It turns out there's a whole lot of engineering behind the contraption, and each toilet is made up of almost 300 parts, and they each cost $17,000 to manufactured. The engineers, named Duan Russell, Jack Westcott and Peter Lowen are so enthusiastic, and the video is genuinely an interesting watch. The more you know and all that.
